Back to 500?

[bulltradept] 17/6/2019 09:44

Nice double top on the chart too, for those that like patterns..

[barnesian] 17/6/2019 09:39

I think the sentiment for this share is fragile because of the very high valuation versus the excellent prospects. It's a tug of war which produces wild swings. It's certainly not boringly stable.

One ought to be able to profit from it but this time I topped up too early. There will eventually be a major swing up but will it fall further in the meantime? Who knows? If you could see the future, you'd be a billionaire.

Agree, made the mistake of averaging up before now in this, happy to wait for a marked retrace before I top up. LTBH for me.

I can never work out why we have these huge dips in the share price

[lomax99] 17/6/2019 09:00

My last GB purchase was in the 460's, not sure if it will drift that far. Will start adding in the 480's, if we get there.

[gswredland] 14/6/2019 16:30

Agreed Hot. Seen this time and time again. Am a long term holder from the 90’s an dlooking to buy more hopefully near 500

[hotfinance14] 14/6/2019 16:19

There always seems to be spells where the GBG share price falls sharply then recovers at a later point.

[kknight01] 14/6/2019 15:18

I'm topped up too. :-)

[davemac3] 14/6/2019 14:14

I should read the board more thoroughly ;-)

During five years of share price growth, GB Group achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 8.2% per year. This EPS growth is lower than the 29% average annual increase in the share price. So it’s fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that’s hardly shocking given the track record of growth. This favorable sentiment is reflected in its (fairly optimistic) P/E ratio of 77.21.


decent company but just need to wait for a better entry point if there is one. Hope there is one!

Market cap 1.1bn
pre tax profits 14.75m
debt 66m
free cash flow 26m if im correct
p/e - 76

[barnesian] 11/6/2019 09:56

P/E valuation may be holding back the share price.

However, there has been double digit EPS and dividend growth for seven years, averaging about 12% pa and this is early stage for this market. Factor in the probability of a take-out acquisition at a premium and the current P/E is not a useful valuation metric.

from todays Daily Telegraph

Questor share tip: the identity verification firm is still growing strongly, although we must keep an eye on valuations

It is more than two-and-a-half years since our first look at GB Group and, even after a capital gain of more than 120pc, there could still be more in the story if last week’s full-year results are any guide.

The Chester-based company reported a 20pc increase in sales to £143m (with underlying growth of 11pc), a 22pc increase in (adjusted) operating profit to £32m and net debt of £66m, following the acquisition in October of Australia’s Vix Verify Global and the swoop for America’s IDology in February.

Both of those deals look to neatly supplement GB Group’s strong competitive position in what is a hot market: identity data intelligence.

It provides businesses (primarily of the “business-to-consumer” type) and government organisations with the information to decide who to trade with and who to block in order to prevent fraud, and does so within a compliance-friendly platform.

Analysts expect further strong sales and profits progress in the year to March 2020, helped by full-year contributions from the recent Australian and American purchases, as well as good underlying progress.

The fundamentals therefore seem solid, although we must still address the issue of valuation. A yield of less than 1pc is unlikely to attract income seekers, although they should bear in mind that GB Group has increased its dividend every year since 2009. The stock trades on around 35 times forecast earnings for the year to March 2020 and 34 times for the following year.

This does, admittedly, price in a fair amount of good news about future growth. Should GB Group miss a beat and disappoint the shares could suffer, as they did in 2016, although this now looks like no more than the sort of speed bump that can hit young, fast-growing firms. On the other hand, if earnings momentum remains strong the shares could still offer long-term capital growth.

The company’s strong competitive position and track record suggest it could continue to appeal to risk-tolerant investors.

Questor says: hold

Ticker: GBG

Share price at close: 580p

is it correct to base the PE Ratio with the ajusted EPS when the diluted EPS is 7.60 less than half giving a PE Ratio of 76

"It can be relied upon" rather than "has a history of" would be nearer the mark. MM games again.

[nigeldoug1] 06/6/2019 17:45

Don't worry it has a history of retreating after the results. It will return.

[sweenoid] 06/6/2019 16:44

That’s what I thought at £6 ;-)
It will be immaterial when I sell at£7 plus though won’t it ....but it may take some time.
I have max premium bonds and enough earning literally nothing in building society’s, guilts are so boring and bonds too, I use a few managed trust investments but the best and most exciting thing is always that high risk/ reward scenario, and frankly compared to many of my investments over the years ( many highly successful)this is comparatively very low risk.

No more from me here now until we get news or there is something worth debating.

I think best opportunity was between 1pm and 2pm this afternoon. That price may never be available again!

[gswredland] 06/6/2019 15:57

Me too tomax

[lomax99] 06/6/2019 13:42

In here, and sitting on a decent gain, but biding my time for an opportunity to top up.
